Garbage people.
Would you please stop posting denunciatory rhetoric to HN, regardless of how wrong some people are or how much you dislike them? It's against both the site guidelines and the spirit of this site. Maybe you don't owe Oregon Republicans or anti-vaxxers any better, but you owe this community better if you want to keep posting here.

Understood. My apologies.
The state party is also endorsing the violent threats of its members, who are allegedly being sheltered by militia members near the Idaho-Oregon border.
An armed society is a civil society. Or so we're told.
A similar case from the other side a decade+ ago: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Eleven

> A group of Texas House representatives, dubbed the Killer Ds, had fled the state for neighboring Oklahoma earlier that same summer for the same reason. However, the quorum-busting tactic was ineffective as the redistricting plan was later passed.

I’m right of center, but these state senators are being big babies. Worse, they’re fomenting serious political unrest. Go back to work, take your lumps, and strike back according to the laws of the limited war that is democracy. It’s still hyperbolic to suggest that the US is on the verge of civil war, but if knuckleheads like this can’t behave like adults, that might not hold true for very long.
